This volume, the second in a series, is specifically concerned with the problems and possibilities of adapting a writing system to another language. Writing is studied as it is used across linguistic and cultural borders from ancient Egyptian, Cuneiform and Korean writing to Japanese, Kharosthi and Near Eastern scripts. This collection of articles aims to highlight the complexity of writing systems rather than to provide a first introduction. The different academic traditions in which these writing systems have been studied use linguistic, socio-historical and philological approaches that give complementary insights of the complex phenomena. 410 0$aThe Idea of Writing$vII. 606 $aWriting 606 $aWritten communication 606 $aLanguage and languages$xOrthography and spelling 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Literacy$2bisacsh 615 0$aWriting. 615 0$aWritten communication. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xOrthography and spelling. 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Literacy. 676 $a302.2/244 701 $aVoogt$b Alexander J. de$01787814 701 $aQuack$b Joachim Friedrich$f1966-$0803539 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954035403321 996 $aThe idea of writing$94321800 997 $aUNINA
